Meaning of Serena Williams’s daughter’s name
Following her tearful exit from the 2022 US Open, many believed Serena Williams had finally said goodbye to the sport. The player however called it ‘evolving’ from the sport keeping door open for a comeback. While many remained excited by the prospect, the announcement of her second pregnancy made it almost impossible for her return.
It is however now up to Williams to decide whether or not to make a return as elder sis Venus Williams continues to be active on the Tour. Coming back to the new member of the family, neither Serena nor Alexis Ohanian revealed the true meaning of the name. However, as per The Bump, the name Adira is for someone who’s Strong, noble, and powerful.
With the phrase at the bottom hinting towards a possible inclination towards water bodies, one can associate it to having the strength and power of ocean while being noble at the same time, something that Adira means.
While the official confirmation is yet to come, for fans and supporters of Williams, it is certainly a joyous occasion. Having faced some difficulty in her first pregnancy, the health update by Ohanian will further keep the well-wishers happy as happy times embrace the Ohanian and Williams family.
